For the past 35 years Lévana Kirschenbaum’s name has been synonymous with upscale Kosher dining. With her eponymous restaurant Lévana, she, her husband and brothers in law pioneered the idea of fine Kosher dining, an uphill battle in those early days with the Kosher public, which resulted in the remarkable explosion of the Kosher food-and-wine market as we know it today. Then, it was with her library of best-selling cookbooks, bringing her wholesome, delicious dishes to hundreds of thousands of homes worldwide. Finally, it was with her cooking demos that have her traveling around the globe, and her enormous online following on her popular blog, Facebook and Twitter. With her latest book, The Whole Foods Kosher Kitchen: Glorious Meals Pure and Simple, Lévana embarked on her most ambitious journey yet: to present a beautiful, comprehensive compilation of her life’s work, her Magnum Opus as she calls it: The hundreds of dishes she shares are at once economical, easily prepared, and absolutely irresistible: Serious ingredients, fun dishes: This is her motto, even when it comes to dessert.
